Fresh off nine days aboard Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth, I’ve traded British formality for Dutch charm and am back aboard Holland America Line’s Zuiderdam. This one feels a bit nostalgic — I first sailed this ship way back in December 2013 for a Panama Canal cruise. And before anyone tells you…

Greetings, true believers! I'm back again as your friendly neighborhood Disney Cruise Line reviewer. As Scott takes a break from cruise life (for an entire 48 hours, anyway!), I welcome you aboard our journey on the original Disney Cruise Line vessel — the Disney Magic. Now, before you hardcore fans…

The final day of this 9-day Western Caribbean cruise aboard Queen Elizabeth has arrived, and we’re spending it at sea as we make our way back to Miami. It’s hard to believe it’s already over — though, after nine days, I can safely say I’ve seen everything this ship has…

Today marked our final port of call on this 9-day Western Caribbean cruise aboard Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth — and we wrapped things up in one of the most over-visited, over-shopped, and over-tequila’d islands in all of Mexico, no not Cancun, but Cozumel.  Now, if you’ve been on more than one…

Day 7 aboard the Queen Elizabeth brought us to Belize City, Belize — the ship’s maiden call here — and the third port stop on this nine-day Western Caribbean cruise. After visits to Costa Maya and Mahogany Bay, today’s adventure was… well, let’s just say a little more old-school. Belize…

Day 6 of this 9-day Western Caribbean cruise aboard Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth brought us to our second port of call — Mahogany Bay, Roatán, Honduras. If you’ve been following along, you know this wasn’t part of the original plan. We were supposed to be heading to Montego Bay, Jamaica, but…

Day five aboard Queen Elizabeth, and it's a sea day as we head toward Mahogany Bay, Roatán, Honduras, which replaced Montego Bay, Jamaica, after Hurricane Melissa left Jamaica in pretty rough shape. Now, sea days can go one of two ways: either you’re the type who does every trivia contest,…

Four days into this nine-day cruise aboard Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth, and we finally hit our first port of call—Costa Maya, Mexico. Originally, we were supposed to be in Montego Bay, Jamaica, but Hurricane Melissa had other plans. With Montego Bay still cleaning up, our visit there was swapped for a…

Day 3 aboard Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth marked our second of two back-to-back sea days as we make our way toward our first port of call, Costa Maya, Mexico. Originally, this was supposed to be a stop in Amber Cove, Dominican Republic, followed by Montego Bay, Jamaica. But thanks to Hurricane…

Welcome back, cruisers! If you’re just joining me, I’m currently sailing on a nine-day voyage aboard Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth. The ship is operating on a slightly modified itinerary thanks to Hurricane Melissa, which forced a few changes. Instead of calling on Amber Cove, Montego Bay, Belize, and Cozumel, our updated…
